James Outman is not a good name for a baseball hitter. You know, because good hitters are not supposed to make outs.
Mr. Outman made his name false Saturday at Wrigley Field. He went 4-for-5 including two home runs, and the Dodgers smashed four homers in all off Cubs pitching and defeated the home team 9-4 on a blustery, cold, snow-flurry afternoon at Wrigley Field (and seriously, Wrigley organist, I could do without hearing “Let It Snow” in the ninth inning).
There were a few good Cubs things in this game, though the bullpen wasn’t one of them.
